It was a place where creatives, non-profits, and startups shared office space in central London.</p>
<p>We thought it sounded perfect for Momo, so we checked it out. We liked it, and we joined, and we now use it as our office.</p><p>Michal read about a place called <a href="http://www.the-hub.net/where/london">The Hub</a> a while ago in a friend&#8217;s blog.

<p>Firstly, what&#8217;s special about The Hub is the people. The folks who run the place are careful about who joins. A lot of the people work for non-profit organisations, like charities. But there are also freelancers, graphic artists, and startups like us. So it&#8217;s a good place to find collaborators, projects (perhaps), and inspiration. It&#8217;s good for a small software company because we get to witness the real, everyday problems that businesses face.</p>
<p>But the other thing is that the Hub&#8217;s an interesting physical space. It&#8217;s at the top of a five-story old warehouse. It&#8217;s a long trek up. Inside is a large shared space with a diversity of places to work. Chairs and desks, of course, but also more relaxed, plush places to sprawl out.</p>
<p>And then there are these nifty <a href="/files/Stove-kitchen.jpg">stoves</a>. They seem to be electronically-controlled charcoal stoves. (We&#8217;ll have to find out more about how they work.) There&#8217;s one of them in the <a href="/files/Meeting-room.jpg">meeting room</a> where we meet with clients. Quite cosy.</p>
